Impending Water Crisis??

[falken]

yes we can no longer depend on dams

we need more water sources

it only took 1 extended el nino to cause water shortage

climate change will cause more of these extended dry seasons

We'll have to hope that whoever's in charge of this will take the proactive approach.

Tinanong ko na yan desalination before ang sabi Super mahal daw kaya hinde ginagawa dito sa atin.

Ewan ko kung totoo? Baka parang nuclear plant yan, mahal operation.

prayers and rain dance lang yata ang maisip na solusyon

since it is now consistently raining everyday, they will say that their prayers worked.

desalination is more expensive than what we are used to paying for our water now.
but like oil, eventually the question won't be "how much?" but "is it available?".
my opinion.

I think it will.

^will people be willing to pay more for desalinated water or simply complain more?

Desalination isn't cheap as looking around to see abundance of bodies of sea water. First you have to remove the salt, then the desalinated water needs to be purified if the water grade to be produced is potable.

After purification then distribution comes to play. Salt corrodes metal pipes, otherwise it will destroy the existing pipe system (water concessionaire and household). So its imperative that the desalination process is impeccable, no trace of salt should escape the desalination process

Theres also the storage facility, water reservoir like a natural lake or man made dams or tanks to hold those desalinated water before consumed by consumers

the best na talaga rain water catchment pero kailangan meron engineer makadevelop yung madali ikabit fittings direcho sa flush comfort rooms.

sa washing machine pala yung tapon na tubig sa top load 10kg ang dami nun, ang katumbas eh tatlong drum ng mantikilya pang bakery jan transfer. Eh may outdoor comfort room kami yun na gamit pang flush kaso mano-mano nga lang.

Ito yung inaadvice ko pag sa isang compound lang house+factory/bodega. Lets say meron 30 empleyado pataas. Lakas kaya consumo nun sa tubig kaka-ihi+ebak. Problem solve yan yung tapon ni washing machine ipambuhos.

this one nabuhay sa rainwater. No deepwell, No city water !!!!! Yung tatay/lolo 40years rainwater lang

in phoenix arizona !!!!

anak ng tucha noypi talaga. Tuloy pa din daw basaan sa fiesta sanjuan. Tradition is tradtion daw.

Katopakan na ito.

Ako year 2006 pa paranoid about water. Dito sa tsikot year 2016 ako nagpost about conservation of water and tigil na pagtayo condo dito metro manila. Wala talaga foresight mga pulitiko. Tataas ng ihi.

You can get electricity sa solar pero tubig saan?????!!!!!

[minicarph]

Gayahin na nila yung sa Singapore. Desalination, Rain catchment and water recycling. And I think we might need 1 or 2 more dams, considering how fast our population grows.

pag may water shortage, di na dadami tao wala na mag loving loving kasi hinde na makapaligo

Sa ilog kukuha ng tubig pangsaboy yan.

[kagalingan]

^
sana nga sa ilog na lang kumuha or ihi na lang trip trip bolahan lang naman fiesta. Its all inuman ni san miguel beer and kacheapan videoke.

from 50 fire trucks eh 16 na lang daw gagamitin. Eh kung ibigay na lang yan panligo mas ok pa. Kung kelan kulang doon pa magsasayang.

the good mayora said, "tradition". 16 will do what was done last year.
the 34 will be distributing water to the parched ones.

Rotational water rationing started last night, will now include Maynilad concessionaires...

Sorry but I need to correct some misconceptions here.

1. Modern r.o. desal plants actually produce water with almost zero salt and mineral content, to levels of only 2-3 ppm. That salt level is much lower than what you will get from water from rivers, lakes and dams.

2. Because of the condition in 1 above it is not the amount of salt that corrodes the steel pipes but the lack of minerals. The water becomes corrosive and eats the steel. To prevent this from happening (and to save billions of dollars from having to replace all those pipes in the distribution system) minerals are then added to the water by passing the water through a mineralizing bed. Simply, this bed is a pool filled with various typea of gravel that dissolve as the water passes through. If after passing through the mineralizing bed the water is still not within the allowable ph, a neutralizing chemical is further added to the water.

Yung concept na water from reverse osmosis has high salt content is so outdated, true in the 80s and maybe 90s but no longer true in 2019. R.O. produces water good enough to put in car batteries, which as we car buffs know require distilled water.

tingin ko this water crisis isn't going away

delayed ang rainy season and madami dami bagyo ang kailangan para mapuno uli ang mga dam

kung hindi nangyari yan itong 2nd half of the year patay na

kailangan mag isip at mag action na ang gobyerno hanap ng ibang water source

need to consider desalination among other options

Naku patay si Kags! Scheduled and tubig sa true QC. Ang laki pa naman ng QC. Ano ngayon masasabi ni Kags sa Maynilad na sa laguna lake ang source ng water so bale hinde affected yun mga areas nila na source is from Laguna lake.

pa-tagong lilipat sa laguna area...
...but will continue posting as if he (s)he were still in the true qc...
heh heh.

but seriously,
we're all in this mess.

but what is the ultimate cause of water and electricity shortage?
...there's too many users...
population...
and how are we addressing it?
